Scientists believe in the theory of universal common descent because it provides a coherent explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. Evidence from various fields such as genetics, biochemistry, and the fossil record supports the idea that all living organisms share a common ancestor. Additionally, the theory has successfully predicted and explained many observations in the biological world.
Scientists believe that all life on Earth evolved from a single-celled ancestor because of the similarities found in the genetic code and cellular structure of all living organisms. This suggests a common origin and shared ancestry. Additionally, the gradual changes observed in the fossil record and the patterns of biodiversity support the idea of evolution from a common ancestor.
Humans evolved from monkeys rather than sharing a common ancestor with them.
According to the theory of evolution by natural selection, the first humans originated from a common ancestor shared with other primates, such as chimpanzees and gorillas. Over millions of years of evolutionary changes, this common ancestor gradually gave rise to the first hominins, which eventually evolved into the earliest members of the Homo genus, from which modern humans descended.
The theory that states organisms evolved from a common ancestor is the theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin in his book "On the Origin of Species" published in 1859. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection explains how species change over time through the process of adaptation to their environments.
Cats did not evolve from dinosaurs. Cats evolved from a common ancestor of modern carnivores, which lived after the extinction of dinosaurs.
Because cells only come from pre-existing cells!

Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, which suggests that humans and apes share a common ancestor. He did not specifically say that humans evolved from apes, but rather that both species descended from a common evolutionary ancestor.
No, we share a common ancestor but we have not evolved from monkeys.

Man did not originate from apes per se, rather we share a common ancestor with them. This is a common misconception about evolution. Humans evolved to fit their environment, apes evolved to fit theirs.
They do not think plant life 'came' to Earth. They believe it evolved here.
homminids evolved from the same common
We evolved about 500 million years ago from fish that evolved to anphibians then mammals then we evolved to primates
